So what has happened in the Omega copyright misuse appeal? Well, a lot -- and not much. I've posted the current docket in the case on Scribd (and embedded it below.) You'll also find the parties' and amici's briefs to the Ninth Circuit on Scribd, posted here, here, here, and here. This material (along with my talk on Saturday, if you'll be there) should tide you over until the appellate court finally issues a decision in this case. Let's just hope the Ninth Circuit isn't waiting for the Supreme Court's Kirtsaeng ruling, because who knows when that might happen...

[UPDATE (2/15/13): The notable IP scholar, Professor Tyler Ochoa, comments on LinkedIn: "Last brief was filed on September 27, 2012. Average wait time from briefing to oral argument is nine to twelve months (Ninth Circuit FAQs). So, assuming the case doesn't settle, oral argument likely will occur somewhere between the end of July 2013 and the end of September 2013. Most decisions are then issued within three months. So, if things go well, we may have an answer by the end of the calendar year!"]
